| E9-16536 | Possession, Use, and Transfer of Select Agents and Toxins; Proposed Addition of SARS-Associated Coronavirus (SARS-CoV) | Proposed Rule | The biological agents and toxins listed in Sec. 73.3 of Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations have been determined by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS Secretary) to have the potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety. We are now proposing to add SARS-associated coronavirus (SARS-CoV) to the list of HHS select agents and toxins. We are proposing this action because (1) SARS-CoV can cause significant mortality, especially in the elderly; (2) the virus has the capability of easily being transmitted from human to human; (3) there is currently no vaccine or antiviral approved for the prevention or treatment of infections caused by the SARS-CoV virus; and (4) it has been documented that the virus may persist in the environment. | 2009-07-13 | 2009 | 7 | https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2009/07/13/E9-16536/possession-use-and-transfer-of-select-agents-and-toxins-proposed-addition-of-sars-associated | https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2009-07-13/pdf/E9-16536.pdf | Health and Human Services Department | 221 | The biological agents and toxins listed in Sec. 73.3 of Title 42 of the Code of Federal Regulations have been determined by the Secretary of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS Secretary) to have the potential to pose a severe threat... |
